ABSTRACT

Disclosed are benzonaphthyridinyl derivative compounds and analogs thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and processes for preparing the same. The compounds are useful in the treatment of diseases amenable to kinase signal transduction inhibition, regulation or modulation.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to protein kinase inhibitors, compositions comprising such inhibitors, and methods of use thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to inhibitors of Aurora protein kinase. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions, as well as to methods of treating diseases associated with protein kinases, especially diseases associated with Aurora A and Aurora B, such as cancer and further proliferative diseases.

Protein kinases represent a large family of proteins, which play a central role in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes, thus maintaining control over cellular function. A partial list of such kinases includes Akt, Axl, Aurora A, Aurora B, dyrk2, epha2, fgfr3, flt-3, vegfr3, igflr, IKK2, JNK3, Vegfr2, MEK1, MET, P70s6K, Plk1, RSK1, Src, TrkA, Zap70, cKit, bRaf, EGFR, Jak2, PI3K, NPM-Alk, c-Abl, BTK, FAK, PDGFR, TAK1, LimK, Flt3, Flt1, PDK1 and Erk. Inhibition of such kinases has become an important therapeutic target.

Many diseases are associated with abnormal cellular responses triggered by protein kinase-mediated events. These diseases include autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies and asthma, Alzheimer's disease or hormone-related diseases. Accordingly, there has been a substantial effort in medicinal chemistry to find protein kinase inhibitors that are effective as therapeutic agents.

The compounds of the invention are novel, selective, and highly potent adenosine triphosphate (ATP) competitive inhibitors of Aurora kinases (A, B and C). The Aurora family of conserved serine/threonine kinases perform essential functions during cell division. The three mammalian paralogues are very similar in sequence, but differ significantly in their localization, function, substrates and regulatory partners. Aurora A is mainly associated with the spindle poles during mitosis, where it is required for centrosome separation and maturation (Sausville EA. Aurora kinases dawn as cancer drug targets, Nat. Med., (2004)10: 234-235 (2004). Spindle assembly requires that targeting protein for XKLP 2 (TPX2) targets Aurora A to spindle pole microtubules through a mechanism that requires Ran-GTP (Marumoto T, Zhang D, Saya H. Aurora A-A guardian of poles, Nature, (2005) δ 42-50 (2005). Aurora A also functions in meiosis promoting oocyte maturation, polar-body extrusion, spindle positioning and exit from metaphase I. Regulation of Aurora A occurs through phosphorylation/dephosphorylation and degradation. Protein phosphatase 1 negatively regulates Aurora and this interaction is modulated by TPX2. Aurora B is a chromosomal-passenger protein with multiple functions in mitosis. Inner centromere protein (INCENP) and survivin, two other components of the passenger complex, function as targeting and regulatory factors for the kinase (Bishop J D and Shumacher J M. Phosphorylation of the Carboxyl Terminus of Inner Centromere Protein (INCENP) by the aurora B Kinase Stimulates aurora B Kinase Activity, J. Biol. Chem. (2002) 277:27577-27580. Aurora B is required for phosphorylation of histone H3, targeting of condensin and normal chromosome compaction. It has also been recently shown to be essential for chromosome biorientation, kinetochore-microtubule interactions and the spindle-assembly checkpoint. Aurora B is essential for completion of cytokinesis. Myosin II regulatory chain, vimentin, desmin and glial fibrillary acidic protein are among its cleavage furrow substrates. Aurora B phosphorylates MgcRacGAP, transforming it into an activator of RhoA in the contractile ring (Minoshima Y, Kawashima T, Hirose K, Tonozuka Y, Kawajiri A, Bao Y, Deng X, Tatsuka M, Narumiya S, May W Phosphorylation by aurora B converts MgcRacGAP to a RhoGAP during cytokinesis. Dev. Cell, (2003) 4:549-560. Much less is known about Aurora C kinase, other than that it seems to be preferentially expressed in meiotic cells. During the cell cycle, Aurora kinases travel to their subcellular targets aided by their binding partner-substrates, INCENP, survivin and TPX2. This provides an additional level of regulation that might be essential for the choreography of mitotic events.

Aurora A and B kinases are frequently elevated in human cancers making them attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. Small molecule inhibitors of Aurora kinases have recently been reported, but their effect on cytokinesis has yet to be investigated in detail. For example a high selective and potent small-molecule inhibitor of Aurora kinases, VX-680, blocks cell-cycle progression and induces apoptosis in a diverse range of human tumor types. This compound causes profound inhibition of tumor growth in a variety of in vivo xenograft models, leading to regression of leukemia, colon and pancreatic tumors at well-tolerated doses (Harrington E A, Bebbington D, Moore J, Rasmussen R K, Ajose-Adeogun A O, Nakayama T. Graham J A, Demur C, Hercend T, Diu-Hercend A, Su M, Golec J M, Miller K M VX-680, a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of the aurora kinases, suppresses tumor growth in vivo, Nat. Med., (2004) 10: 262-267. Another novel cell cycle inhibitor, JNJ-7706621, showed potent inhibition of several cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and Aurora kinases and selectively blocked proliferation of tumor cells of various origins, but was about 10-fold less effective at inhibiting normal human cell growth in vitro. In human cancer cells, treatment with JNJ-7706621 inhibited cell growth independent of p53, retinoblastoma, or P-glycoprotein status; activated apoptosis; and reduced colony formation. At low concentrations, JNJ-7706621 slowed the growth of cells and at higher concentrations induced cytotoxicity. Inhibition of CDK1 kinase activity, altered CDK1 phosphorylation status, and interference with downstream substrates such as retinoblastoma were also shown in human tumor cells following drug treatment. JNJ-7706621 delayed progression through G1 and arrested the cell cycle at the G2-M phase (Emanuel S, Rugg C A, Gruninger R H, Lin R, Fuentes-Pesquera A, Connolly P J, Wetter S K, Hollister B, Kruger W W, Napier C, Jolliffe L, Middleton S A, The in vitro and in vivo effects of JNJ-7706621: A dual inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and aurora kinases, Cancer Res., (2005) 65:9038-9046). Additional cellular effects due to inhibition of Aurora kinases included endoreduplication and inhibition of histone H3 phosphorylation. In a human tumor xenograft model, several intermittent dosing schedules were identified that produced significant antitumor activity.

As noted above, Aurora kinases are overexpressed in certain types of cancers, including colon, breast, and other solid-tumor cancers. The genes encoding the Aurora B and A kinases tend to be amplified in certain types of cancers, while the gene encoding the Aurora C kinase resides in a region of the chromosome that is subject to rearrangement and deletion. Aurora A has been associated with a variety of malignancies, including primary colon, colorectal, breast, stomach, ovarian, prostate, and cervical cancer, neuroblastoma, and other solid-tumor cancers (Warner et al. (2003) Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 2:589-95).

Hauf et al. (J. Cell. Biol. (2003) 161:281-294) identified the indolinone (Hesperadin) as an inhibitor of Aurora B, which causes cells to enter anaphase with monooriented chromosomes, having both sister kinetochores attached to a single spindle pole (a condition known as syntelic attachment).

Ditchfield et al. (J. Cell. Biol. (2003) 161:267-280) described ZM447-439 ((4-(4-(N-benzoylamino)anilino)-6-methoxy-7-(3-(1-morpholino)propoxy) quinazoline), an Aurora kinase inhibitor which interferes with chromosome alignment, segregation, and cytokinesis.

The present invention specifically relates to compounds of the formula I which inhibit, regulate and/or modulate signal transduction by Aurora kinase, to compositions which comprise these compounds, and to processes for the use thereof for the treatment of Aurora kinase-induced diseases and complaints, such as angiogenesis, cancer, tumour formation, growth and propagation, arteriosclerosis, ocular diseases, such as age-induced macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularisation and diabetic retinopathy, inflammatory diseases, arthritis, thrombosis, fibrosis, glomerulonephritis, neurodegeneration, psoriasis, restenosis, wound healing, transplant rejection, metabolic diseases and diseases of the immune system, also autoimmune diseases, cirrhosis, diabetes and diseases of the blood vessels, also instability and permeability and the like in mammals.

Solid tumours, in particular fast-growing tumours, can be treated with Aurora kinase inhibitors. These solid tumours include monocytic leukaemia, brain, urogenital, lymphatic system, stomach, laryngeal and lung carcinoma, including lung adenocarcinoma and small-cell lung carcinoma.

The present invention is directed to processes for the regulation, modulation or inhibition of Aurora kinase for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in connection with unregulated or disturbed Aurora kinase activity. In particular, the compounds of the formula I can also be employed in the treatment of certain forms of cancer. The compounds of the formula I can furthermore be used to provide additive or synergistic effects in certain existing cancer chemotherapies, and/or can be used to restore the efficacy of certain existing cancer chemotherapies and radiotherapies.

The compounds of the formula I can furthermore be used for the isolation and investigation of the activity or expression of Aurora kinase. In addition, they are particularly suitable for use in diagnostic methods for diseases in connection with unregulated or disturbed Aurora kinase activity.

It can be shown that the compounds of the invention have an antiproliferative action in vivo in a xenotransplant tumour model. The compounds according to the invention are administered to a patient having a hyperproliferative disease, for example to inhibit tumour growth, to reduce inflammation associated with a lymphoproliferative disease, to inhibit transplant rejection or neurological damage due to tissue repair, etc. The present compounds are suitable for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes. As used herein, the term “treatment” is used to refer to both prevention of diseases and treatment of pre-existing conditions. The prevention of proliferation is achieved by administration of the compounds according to the invention prior to the development of overt disease, for example to prevent the growth of tumours, prevent metastatic growth, diminish restenosis associated with cardiovascular surgery, etc. Alternatively, the compounds are used for the treatment of ongoing diseases by stabilising or improving the clinical symptoms of the patient.

The host or patient can belong to any mammalian species, for example a primate species, particularly humans; rodents, including mice, rats and hamsters; rabbits; horses, cows, dogs, cats, etc. Animal models are of interest for experimental investigations, providing a model for treatment of human disease.

The susceptibility of a particular cell to treatment with the compounds according to the invention can be determined by in vitro tests. Typically, a culture of the cell is combined with a compound according to the invention at various concentrations for a period of time which is sufficient to allow the active agents to induce cell death or to inhibit migration, usually between about one hour and one week. In vitro testing can be carried out using cultivated cells from a biopsy sample. The viable cells remaining after the treatment are then counted.

The dose varies depending on the specific compound used, the specific disease, the patient status, etc. A therapeutic dose is typically sufficient considerably to reduce the undesired cell population in the target tissue while the viability of the patient is maintained. The treatment is generally continued until a considerable reduction has occurred, for example an at least about 50% reduction in the cell burden, and may be continued until essentially no more undesired cells are detected in the body.

For identification of a signal transduction pathway and for detection of interactions between various signal transduction pathways, various scientists have developed suitable models or model systems, for example cell culture models (for example Khwaja et al., EMBO, (1997), 16: 2783-93) and models of transgenic animals (for example White et al., Oncogene, (2001), 20: 7064-7072). For the determination of certain stages in the signal transduction cascade, interacting compounds can be utilised in order to modulate the signal (for example Stephens et al., Biochemical J., (2000), 351:95-105). The compounds according to the invention can also be used as reagents for testing kinase-dependent signal transduction pathways in animals and/or cell culture models or in the clinical diseases mentioned in this application.

Measurement of the kinase activity is a technique which is well known to the person skilled in the art. Generic test systems for the determination of the kinase activity using substrates, for example histone (for example Alessi et al., FEBS Lett. (1996), 399(3): 333-338) or the basic myelin protein, are described in the literature (for example Campos-González, R. and Glenney, Jr., J. R., J. Biol. Chem. (1992), 267:14535).

For the identification of kinase inhibitors, various assay systems are available. In scintillation proximity assay (Sorg et al., J. of. Biomolecular Screening, (2002), 7:11-19) and flashplate assay, the radioactive phosphorylation of a protein or peptide as substrate with γATP is measured. In the presence of an inhibitory compound, a decreased radioactive signal, or none at all, is detectable. Furthermore, homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (HTR-FRET) and fluorescence polarisation (FP) technologies are suitable as assay methods (Sills et al., J. of Biomolecular Screening, (2002) 191-214). Another possibility is the use of a caliper test as exemplified in example 151.

Other non-radioactive ELISA assay methods use specific phospho-antibodies (phospho-ABs). The phospho-AB binds only the phosphorylated substrate. This binding can be detected by chemiluminescence using a second peroxidase-conjugated anti-sheep antibody (Ross et al., 2002, Biochem. J.).

There are many diseases associated with deregulation of cellular proliferation and cell death (apoptosis). The conditions of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. The compounds according to the invention are suitable for the treatment of various conditions where there is proliferation and/or migration of smooth muscle cells and/or inflammatory cells into the intimal layer of a vessel, resulting in restricted blood flow through that vessel, for example in the case of neointimal occlusive lesions. Occlusive graft vascular diseases of interest include atherosclerosis, coronary vascular disease after grafting, vein graft stenosis, peri-anastomatic prosthetic restenosis, restenosis after angioplasty or stent placement, and the like.

Accordingly, kinase inhibitors, particularly inhibitors of Aurora kinases, are of particular interest in treating certain disorders, including cancer and other proliferative diseases. Compounds exhibiting such inhibition are of particular value.

In a further preferred embodiment the present invention relates to medicaments comprising at least one compound of the formula I, and at least one further medicament active ingredient.

In a further preferred embodiment the present invention relates to a set (kit) consisting of separate packs of (a) an effective amount of a compound of the formula I according to the invention, and (b) an effective amount of a further medicament active ingredient.

The expression “effective amount” denotes the amount of a medicament or of a pharmaceutical active ingredient which causes in a tissue, system, animal or human a biological or medical response which is sought or desired, for example, by a researcher or physician.

In addition, the expression “therapeutically effective amount” denotes an amount which, compared with a corresponding subject who has not received this amount, has the following consequence:

improved treatment, healing, prevention or elimination of a disease, syndrome, condition, complaint, disorder or side-effects or also the reduction in the advance of a disease, complaint or disorder.

The expression “therapeutically effective amount” also encompasses the amounts which are effective for increasing normal physiological function.

The invention also relates to the use of mixtures of the compounds of the formula I, for example mixtures of two diastereomers, for example in the ratio 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, 1:100 or 1:1000.

These are particularly preferably mixtures of stereoisomeric compounds.

The term “pharmaceutically usable derivative” or “pharmaceutically acceptable derivative” is taken to mean, for example, the salts of the compounds according to the invention and also so-called prodrug compounds.

The invention also relates to the optically active forms (stereoisomers), the enantiomers, the racemates, the diastereomers and the hydrates and solvates of these compounds. The term solvates of the compounds is taken to mean adductions of inert solvent molecules onto the compounds which form owing to their mutual attractive force. Solvates are, for example, mono- or dihydrates or alkoxides.

The term prodrug derivatives is taken to mean compounds of the formula I which have been modified by means of, for example, alkyl or acyl groups, sugars or oligopeptides and which are rapidly cleaved in the organism to form the effective compounds according to the invention.

These also include biodegradable polymer derivatives of the compounds according to the invention, as described, for example, in Int. J. Pharm., (1995), 115:61-67.

The invention also relates to the use of mixtures of the compounds of the formula I, for example mixtures of two diastereomers, for example in the ratio 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, 1:100 or 1:1000.

Pharmaceutical Salts and Other Forms

The compounds according to the invention can be used in their final non-salt form. On the other hand, the present invention also encompasses the use of these compounds in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which can be derived from various organic and inorganic acids and bases by procedures known in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the compounds of the formula I are for the most part prepared by conventional methods. If the compound of the formula I contains a carboxyl group, one of its suitable salts can be formed by reacting the compound with a suitable base to give the corresponding base-addition salt. Such bases are, for example, alkali metal hydroxides, including potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and lithium hydroxide; alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as barium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide; alkali metal alkoxides, for example potassium ethoxide and sodium propoxide; and various organic bases, such as piperidine, diethanolamine and N methylglutamine. The aluminium salts of the compounds of the formula I are likewise included. In the case of certain compounds of the formula I, acid-addition salts can be formed by treating these compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable organic and inorganic acids, for example hydrogen halides, such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hydrogen iodide, other mineral acids and corresponding salts thereof, such as sulfate, nitrate or phosphate and the like, and alkyl- and monoarylsulfonates, such as ethanesulfonate, toluenesulfonate and benzenesulfonate, and other organic acids and corresponding salts thereof, such as acetate, trifluoroacetate, tartrate, maleate, succinate, citrate, benzoate, salicylate, ascorbate and the like. Accordingly, pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts of the compounds of the formula I include the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, arginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate (besylate), bisulfate, bisulfite, bromide, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, caprylate, chloride, chlorobenzoate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dihydrogenphosphate, dinitrobenzoate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, galacterate (from mucic acid), galacturonate, glucoheptanoate, gluconate, glutamate, glycerophosphate, hemisuccinate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hippurate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2 hydroxyethanesulfonate, iodide, isethionate, isobutyrate, lactate, lactobionate, malate, maleate, malonate, mandelate, metaphosphate, methanesulfonate, methylbenzoate, monohydrogenphosphate, 2 naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oxalate, oleate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, phenylacetate, 3 phenylpropionate, phosphate, phosphonate, phthalate, but this does not represent a restriction.

Furthermore, the base salts of the compounds according to the invention include aluminium, ammonium, calcium, copper, iron(III), iron(II), lithium, magnesium, manganese(III), manganese(II), potassium, sodium and zinc salts, but this is not intended to represent a restriction. Of the above-mentioned salts, preference is given to ammonium; the alkali metal salts sodium and potassium, and the alkaline earth metal salts calcium and magnesium. Salts of the compounds of the formula I which are derived from pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic bases include salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, substituted amines, also including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, and basic ion exchanger resins, for example arginine, betaine, caffeine, chloroprocaine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine (benzathine), dicyclohexylamine, diethanolamine, diethylamine, 2 diethylaminoethanol, 2 dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N ethylmorpholine, N ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lidocaine, lysine, meglumine, N methyl-D-glucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethanolamine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine and tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine(tromethamine), but this is not intended to represent a restriction.

Compounds of the present invention which contain basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternised using agents such as (C1 C4)alkyl halides, for example methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and tert-butyl chloride, bromide and iodide; di(C1-C4)alkyl sulfates, for example dimethyl, diethyl and diamyl sulfate; (C10-C18)alkyl halides, for example decyl, dodecyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chloride, bromide and iodide; and aryl(C1-C4)alkyl halides, for example benzyl chloride and phenethyl bromide. Both water- and oil-soluble compounds according to the invention can be prepared using such salts.

The above-mentioned pharmaceutical salts which are preferred include acetate, trifluoroacetate, besylate, citrate, fumarate, gluconate, hemisuccinate, hippurate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, isethionate, mandelate, meglumine, nitrate, oleate, phosphonate, pivalate, sodium phosphate, stearate, sulfate, sulfosalicylate, tartrate, thiomalate, tosylate and tromethamine, but this is not intended to represent a restriction.

Particular preference is given to hydrochloride, dihydrochloride, hydrobromide, maleate, mesylate, phosphate, sulfate and succinate.

The acid-addition salts of basic compounds of the formula I are prepared by bringing the free base form into contact with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, causing the formation of the salt in a conventional manner. The free base can be regenerated by bringing the salt form into contact with a base and isolating the free base in a conventional manner. The free base forms differ in a certain respect from the corresponding salt forms thereof with respect to certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents; for the purposes of the invention, however, the salts otherwise correspond to the respective free base forms thereof.

As mentioned, the pharmaceutically acceptable base-addition salts of the compounds of the formula I are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali metals and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Preferred metals are sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Preferred organic amines are N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N methyl-D-glucamine and procaine.

The base-addition salts of acidic compounds according to the invention are prepared by bringing the free acid form into contact with a sufficient amount of the desired base, causing the formation of the salt in a conventional manner. The free acid can be regenerated by bringing the salt form into contact with an acid and isolating the free acid in a conventional manner. The free acid forms differ in a certain respect from the corresponding salt forms thereof with respect to certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents; for the purposes of the invention, however, the salts otherwise correspond to the respective free acid forms thereof.

If a compound according to the invention contains more than one group which is capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this type, the invention also encompasses multiple salts. Typical multiple salt forms include, for example, bitartrate, diacetate, difumarate, dimeglumine, diphosphate, disodium and trihydrochloride, but this is not intended to represent a restriction.

With regard to that stated above, it can be seen that the expression “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” in the present connection is taken to mean an active ingredient which comprises a compound of the formula I in the form of one of its salts, in particular if this salt form imparts improved pharmacokinetic properties on the active ingredient compared with the free form of the active ingredient or any other salt form of the active ingredient used earlier. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt form of the active ingredient can also provide this active ingredient for the first time with a desired pharmacokinetic property which it did not have earlier and can even have a positive influence on the pharmacodynamics of this active ingredient with respect to its therapeutic efficacy in the body.

The invention furthermore relates to medicaments comprising at least one compound of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically usable derivatives, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios, and optionally excipients and/or adjuvants.

Pharmaceutical formulations can be administered in the form of dosage units which comprise a predetermined amount of active ingredient per dosage unit. Such a unit can comprise, for example, 0.5 mg to 1 g, preferably 1 mg to 700 mg, particularly preferably 5 mg to 100 mg, of a compound according to the invention, depending on the condition treated, the method of administration and the age, weight and condition of the patient, or pharmaceutical formulations can be administered in the form of dosage units which comprise a predetermined amount of active ingredient per dosage unit. Preferred dosage unit formulations are those which comprise a daily dose or part-dose, as indicated above, or a corresponding fraction thereof of an active ingredient. Furthermore, pharmaceutical formulations of this type can be prepared using a process which is generally known in the pharmaceutical art.

Pharmaceutical formulations can be adapted for administration via any desired suitable method, for example by oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual or transdermal), vaginal or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intradermal) methods. Such formulations can be prepared using all processes known in the pharmaceutical art by, for example, combining the active ingredient with the excipient(s) or adjuvant(s).

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration can be administered as separate units, such as, for example, capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or foam foods; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions.

Thus, for example, in the case of oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active-ingredient component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipient, such as, for example, ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing it with a pharmaceutical excipient comminuted in a similar manner, such as, for example, an edible carbohydrate, such as, for example, starch or mannitol. A flavour, preservative, dispersant and dye may likewise be present.

Capsules are produced by preparing a powder mixture as described above and filling shaped gelatine shells therewith. Glidants and lubricants, such as, for example, highly disperse silicic acid, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or polyethylene glycol in solid form, can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrant or solubiliser, such as, for example, agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate, may likewise be added in order to improve the availability of the medicament after the capsule has been taken.

In addition, if desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants and disintegrants as well as dyes can likewise be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatine, natural sugars, such as, for example, glucose or beta-lactose, sweeteners made from maize, natural and synthetic rubber, such as, for example, acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. The lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. The disintegrants include, without being restricted thereto, starch, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. The tablets are formulated by, for example, preparing a powder mixture, granulating or dry-pressing the mixture, adding a lubricant and a disintegrant and pressing the entire mixture to give tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound comminuted in a suitable manner with a diluent or a base, as described above, and optionally with a binder, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, an alginate, gelatine or polyvinylpyrrolidone, a dissolution retardant, such as, for example, paraffin, an absorption accelerator, such as, for example, a quaternary salt, and/or an absorbant, such as, for example, bentonite, kaolin or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting it with a binder, such as, for example, syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage or solutions of cellulose or polymer materials and pressing it through a sieve. As an alternative to granulation, the powder mixture can be run through a tabletting machine, giving lumps of non-uniform shape, which are broken up to form granules. The granules can be lubricated by addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil in order to prevent sticking to the tablet casting moulds. The lubricated mixture is then pressed to give tablets. The compounds according to the invention can also be combined with a free-flowing inert excipient and then pressed directly to give tablets without carrying out the granulation or dry-pressing steps. A transparent or opaque protective layer consisting of a shellac sealing layer, a layer of sugar or polymer material and a gloss layer of wax may be present. Dyes can be added to these coatings in order to be able to differentiate between different dosage units.

Oral liquids, such as, for example, solution, syrups and elixirs, can be prepared in the form of dosage units so that a given quantity comprises a pre-specified amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in an aqueous solution with a suitable flavour, while elixirs are prepared using a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersion of the compound in a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilisers and emulsifiers, such as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavour additives, such as, for example, peppermint oil or natural sweeteners or saccharin, or other artificial sweeteners and the like, can likewise be added.

The dosage unit formulations for oral administration can, if desired, be encapsulated in microcapsules. The formulation can also be prepared in such a way that the release is extended or retarded, such as, for example, by coating or embedding of particulate material in polymers, wax and the like.

The compounds of the formula I and salts, solvates and physiologically functional derivatives thereof can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as, for example, small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from various phospholipids, such as, for example, cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.

The compounds of the formula I and the salts, solvates and physiologically functional derivatives thereof can also be delivered using monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds can also be coupled to soluble polymers as targeted medicament carriers. Such polymers may encompass polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamidophenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidophenol or polyethylene oxide polylysine, substituted by palmitoyl radicals. The compounds may furthermore be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers which are suitable for achieving controlled release of a medicament, for example polylactic acid, poly-epsilon-caprolactone, polyhydroxybutyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydroxypyrans, polycyanoacrylates and crosslinked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for transdermal administration can be administered as independent plasters for extended, close contact with the epidermis of the recipient. Thus, for example, the active ingredient can be delivered from the plaster by iontophoresis, as described in general terms in Pharmaceutical Research, (1986) 3(6):318 .

Pharmaceutical compounds adapted for topical administration can be formulated as ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, powders, solutions, pastes, gels, sprays, aerosols or oils.

For the treatment of the eye or other external tissue, for example mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as topical ointment or cream. In the case of formulation to give an ointment, the active ingredient can be employed either with a paraffinic or a water-miscible cream base. Alternatively, the active ingredient can be formulated to give a cream with an oil-in-water cream base or a water-in-oil base.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical application to the eye include eye drops, in which the active ingredient is dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier, in particular an aqueous solvent.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical application in the mouth encompass lozenges, pastilles and mouthwashes.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for rectal administration can be administered in the form of suppositories or enemas.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for nasal administration in which the carrier substance is a solid comprise a coarse powder having a particle size, for example, in the range 20-500 microns, which is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e. by rapid inhalation via the nasal passages from a container containing the powder held close to the nose. Suitable formulations for administration as nasal spray or nose drops with a liquid as carrier substance encompass active-ingredient solutions in water or oil.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for administration by inhalation encompass finely particulate dusts or mists, which can be generated by various types of pressurised dispensers with aerosols, nebulisers or insufflators.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for vaginal administration can be administered as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions comprising antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatics and solutes, by means of which the formulation is rendered isotonic with the blood of the recipient to be treated; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions, which may comprise suspension media and thickeners. The formulations can be administered in single-dose or multidose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and stored in freeze-dried (lyophilised) state, so that only the addition of the sterile carrier liquid, for example water for injection purposes, immediately before use is necessary. Injection solutions and suspensions prepared in accordance with the recipe can be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets.

It goes without saying that, in addition to the above particularly mentioned constituents, the formulations may also comprise other agents usual in the art with respect to the particular type of formulation; thus, for example, formulations that are suitable for oral administration may comprise flavours.

A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula I depends on a number of factors, including, for example, the age and weight of the animal, the precise condition that requires treatment, and its severity, the nature of the formulation and the method of administration, and is ultimately determined by the treating doctor or vet. However, an effective amount of a compound according to the invention for the treatment of neoplastic growth, for example colon or breast carcinoma, is generally in the range from 0.1 to 100 mg/kg of body weight of the recipient (mammal) per day and particularly typically in the range from 1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight per day. Thus, the actual amount per day for an adult mammal weighing 70 kg is usually between 70 and 700 mg, where this amount can be administered as a single dose per day or usually in a series of part-doses (such as, for example, two, three, four, five or six) per day, so that the total daily dose is the same. An effective amount of a salt or solvate or of a physiologically functional derivative thereof can be determined as the fraction of the effective amount of the compound according to the invention per se. It can be assumed that similar doses are suitable for the treatment of other conditions mentioned above.

The invention furthermore relates to medicaments comprising at least one compound of the formula I and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, derivative, solvate or stereoisomer thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios, and at least one further medicament active ingredient.

The invention also relates to a set (kit) consisting of separate packs of

(a) an effective amount of a compound of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically usable derivatives, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios,

-   -   and

(b) an effective amount of a further medicament active ingredient.

The set comprises suitable containers, such as boxes, individual bottles, bags or ampoules. The set may, for example, comprise separate ampoules, each containing an effective amount of a compound of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically usable derivatives, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios,

and an effective amount of a further medicament active ingredient in dissolved or lyophilised form.

These provide data on enzyme activity via measurement of the relative amounts of phosphorylated or unphosphorylated fluorescently labelled substrate peptide at the end of an enzymatic reaction. These different states of peptide are resolved by applying a potential difference across the sample. The presence of the charged phosphate group on the product (as opposed to the substrate) causes a different peptide mobility between the two peptides. This is visualized by excitation of the fluorescent label on the substrate and product peptides and represented as peaks within the analysis software.

LC3000 Method

In order to measure inhibitor activity of Aurora A inhibitors in the Caliper Life Sciences LC3000, a TTP Mosquito liquid handling instrument is used to place 0.25 ul of the appropriate concentration of inhibitor in 100% DMSO (for a dose response curve calculation) into each well of a 384-well plate. To this reaction components are added to a final volume of 25 ul:

-   -   0.067 ng/ul GST-Aurora A (Carna Biosciences 05-101. N-terminal         GST fusion with full length Aurora A (1-403 amino acids),         accession number NP 940835.1).     -   15 uM ATP (Fluke, 02055)     -   1 mM DTT (Sigma, D0632)     -   1 mM MgCl2 (Sigma, M1028)     -   1 uM substrate peptide (sequence FITC-LRRASLG-(CONH2),         synthesized by Tufts Peptide Synthesis service.     -   100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (Calbiochem, 391338)     -   0.015% Brij-35 (Sigma, B4184)

The reaction is incubated for 90 min at 25 C, and then stopped by the addition of 70 ul of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35, 10 mM EDTA (Sigma, E7889)).

The plate is read on a Caliper LC3000 in an Off-Chip mobility shift assay format, using the following parameters for a 12-sipper chip: screening pressure—1.8 psi, upstream voltage—2700, downstream voltage—1000. These conditions cause unphosphorylated substrate and phosphorylated product peptide to resolve as separate peaks allowing direct measurement of percentage of conversion of substrate to product. The percent conversion can be plotted against concentration of inhibitor to produce a sigmoidal dose response curve, from which an 1050 can be calculated using XLFit for Microsoft Excel.

Desktop Profiler Method

The Desktop Profiler utilizes the same principle as the LC3000 for calculating percentage conversion of a substrate to product. Caliper Life Sciences provides proprietary flash frozen pre-made 384 well plates containing selected kinases. Each column in the 384 well plate contains a particular selected kinase. A second plate, the ‘substrate plate’ contains a mix of fluorescently labeled peptide substrate and ATP. These are arranged in columns so that transfer for substrate plate to enzyme plate provides the correct enzyme with the correct substrate/ATP concentration. Compounds are added to a thawed enzyme plate in the desired format, in single concentrations. Reactions are initiated by transfer of the substrate/ATP mix from the substrate plate. The enzyme plate is incubated for 90 mins at 25 C. The reaction is stopped by addition of 70 ul of Stop Buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35, 10 mM EDTA (Sigma, E7889)).

Reading of the plate in the Profiler is identical to the LC3000, and the ratio between substrate and product peaks provides the activity of the enzyme in that well. This is best represented by a plate heat map which colors each well by percent inhibition as compared to positive and negative controls (no inhibitors and no ATP respectively).

In the following Tables 3a-4-b, which show the results of the desktop profiler measurements, “+” means 50-70% inhibition, “++” means 70-90% inhibition, and “+++” means >90% inhibition.

Determination of IC₅₀ Values According to the LC3000 Method

In the desired wells of a 384-well plate, Aurora A (0.067 ng/ul) was incubated with 15 uM ATP (the KM value), 1 mM DTT, 1 mM MgCl2, and 1 uM peptide substrate (sequence FITC-LRRASLG-(CONH₂), FITC=fluorescein isothiocyanate) in 100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and 0.015% Brij-35 buffer. The reaction was incubated for 90 min at 25 C, and then stopped by the addition of 45 ul of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES ph 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35, 10 mM EDTA).

The plate was read in a Caliper LC 3000 in an Off-Chip mobility shift assay format, using the following parameters: screening pressure—1.8 psi, upstream voltage—2700, downstream voltage—1000. These conditions cause unphosphorylated substrate peptide to resolve as a peak before that of the phosphorylated peptide product.

In the following table “+” means >100 nM, “++” means 11-100 nM, and “+++” means <11 nM.
